A MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO We hear it all the time, “do it for the environment”, and “do it for your children and their children”. That being said, it isn’t easy. We have to give things up, change our daily routines and in general, upset the balance in our lives. Consider this: Americans consume 50 billion bottles of water each year. 30 billion are being sent to landfills on a daily basis. 60 million are thrown in the trash. According to Greenpeace, 1 million birds and 100,000 marine mammals are estimated to perish each year by either eating or becoming trapped in plastic waste. In response, PMSI eliminated plastic water bottles and returned to filtered tap water. On to the next issue...coffee cups. Styrofoam takes up 25.30% of the space in landfills. In response, we are issuing each employee a coffee mug. We will no longer purchase disposable coffee cups. Hopefully, this act will encourage others to follow. So there you have our first two “Go Green” initiatives. One is in place, the other starts now. The third is up to you! I am asking you to come up with your best “Go Green” idea. If we decide to use your idea you will receive a $100 gas card from Wawa. Then we will roll out the idea with your name attached. So give it some thought, do some research, heck-steal an idea from another company and submit it today. PMSI takes healthcare and the environment seriously. Survival goes to the most adaptable…..Darwin

EMR update! We are
very proud to announce that the 1591 office is working on the last specialty to
be implemented. The GI department will begin training for their go-live at the
end of September. Next up- the orthopedic office and then we are finished with
the initial roll out. All offices utilizing EMR are now using order and charge
as well. The next project for EMR will be the installation of the upgrade
version of Touchworks-Version 11. This roll-out is considered another
implementation phase. V11 promises to be extremely user friendly, with added
features that make the navigation of the product more efficient. The folks at
Allscripts continue to be impressed with PMSI’s roll-out process. We could not
have accomplished this without all of you!
PMSI is proud to announce the
unveiling of the PMSI company email. All employees now have an email address
and can communicate with anyone in the organization. Lead IT director, Dave
Lozano developed the internal email system which went live on Monday, September

problems. Remember that PMSI email is for official PMSI business only and you
should use your personal email for anything that is not company related.
Please remember to login and check your company email at least twice daily.
